Research Associate/Fellow (Fixed term) Reference SCI393215 Closing Date Tuesday, 9th February 2016 Job Type Research & Teaching Support Department Plant & Crop Sciences Salary ￡25769 to ￡28143 per annum, depending on skills and experience (minimum ￡28 982 with relevant PhD). Salary progression beyond this scale is subject to per formance Fixed-term Applicants are invited for the above post based in the Division of Plant Scien ces, University of Nottingham, working with Prof Zoe Wilson on a BBSRC-Newton project entitled “Maintaining rice reproduction under high temperature stress :- identifying mechanisms and germplasm to increase crop resilience.” This pr oject is a collaboration between the University of Nottingham, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China). Flower development is critical for plant breeding and seed production. Pollen formation is highly sensitive to temperature stress; high temperature stress d uring flowering therefore poses a serious threat to current and long- term cro p yields. Nevertheless there is considerable genetic variability in tolerance to high temperature between species and genotypes. Understanding how plants co pe with heat stress during reproductive development offers the potential to id entify genetic traits that can be manipulated and utilised to improve temperat ure tolerance in crops. This project will address these issues by developing rice germplasm with enhan ced resilience to temperature stress and by providing detailed understanding o f the molecular and cytological changes occurring during reproduction under he at stress, and the mechanisms conferring resilience to high temperatures. The successful candidate will be required to screen rice materials to use Natu ral Variation to identify germplasm and traits associated with temperature res ilience. These materials will be phenotyped in field and glasshouse conditions for altered fertility and floral architecture as a consequence of heat stress . Fieldwork will be conducted in two locations in China. GWAS and Introgressio n marker analysis will be used to identify the loci responsible. Molecular too ls and transgenic lines will be used to dissect the mechanisms behind these tr aits. Candidates must have PhD, or be close to submission of their PhD thesis in a r elevant subject, and have experience in molecular genetics. The candidate must be computer literate in Word, PowerPoint, Excel. The role requires expertise in plant reproduction and the ability to carry out field screening alongside l ab based molecular biology and microscopy. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Zoe Wilson, tel: 0115 9513235 or email zoe.wilson@nottingham.ac.uk. Please note that applications sent directly to th is email address will not be accepted. -- |
